Strong growth of minerals and energy output from PilbaraAt present, around 55 per cent of worldwide LNG capacity under construction is located in Australia. By 2015-16, Australia’s LNG exports are forecast to increase to 41 million tonnes, an increase of 126 per cent from 2010-11.
Growth in Australian LNG production located in the Pilbara Region
Growth in iron ore exports from the Pilbara Region
In 2015-16, iron ore export earnings are projected to reach $68 billion (in 2010-11 dollars), as strong growth in export volumes offsets lower prices.

Pilbara Region dominates Western Australia’s Gross State Product
The Pilbara generates ~ 80% of WA’s minerals and energy production value of $107 billion (2011)
The Pilbara has a Gross Regional Product larger than some Australian states, but most flows elsewhere – including to Perth and as returns to capital.

Pilbara infrastructure investment
• Early development 1960s – 1980 ● Three iron ore producers, two salt operations
– steady growth, short term planning, based on Japanese demand– all developments under State Agreements on project-by-project basis
● Companies provided most infrastructure – rail, ports, water, power, housing, community infrastructure– infrastructure responsibilities defined by State Agreements– production infrastructure (rail, ports, power, water) planned, funded and
built by companies, subject to government approval under Agreements– rail and ports seen as part of production chains - used only by owner – government provided roads, power distribution and water distribution, and
education and health services● Focus of governments was on commitments by companies under
Agreements to future ‘value added’ processing
Founded on iron ore

Pilbara infrastructure investment
• New opportunities for development 1980s – 2000● Offshore natural gas emerges as game-changer in WA economy
– State funds Dampier – Perth natural gas 1500 Km pipeline– State energy agency signs take-or-pay for domestic gas to underwrite NWS– all developments under project-by-project State Agreements
● LNG exports by NWS JV commence and grow three fold● New, major gas fields discovered offshore from WA● Government plans estate for petrochemicals and other gas processing● BHP builds and closes iron ore processing (HBI) plant in $3 billion failure● Fly-in / fly-out used to minimise community infrastructure costs● Commonwealth passes Native Title Act
Energy emerges
10
Pilbara infrastructure investment
• Development since 2000● Multiple iron ore companies (including Chinese FDI), four LNG
developments/operations, several other mining operations– rapid growth, multiple options, long term planning
● Companies still provide production infrastructure – rail, ports, water, power, employee housing– production infrastructure (rail, ports, power, water) used mostly by owner –
rail and ports part of production chains● Sharing of now-State-owned ports, litigation over sharing of rail● ‘Normalisation’ of towns – several now support multiple company
operations● Governments provide community infrastructure and develop towns
– shortage of housing and community facilities and services (eg, education and health); high housing construction and rental costs
Chinese demand

Future Pilbara production represents a quantum shift in output

Iron ore Oil and gas (LNG)
Infrastructure planning changes
● Overall– cooperative planning within agreed
growth parameters– hypothecation of royalty revenues
to fund infrastructure● Ports
– move to multi-user ports to allow for investment diversity
● Rail– future multi-user railways with
independent operator
13
Pilbara Planning and Infrastructure Framework – consolidation of towns
14
Transport infrastructure – integrated planning; prospect of a multi-user rail line
15
Infrastructure planning changes (2)
● Roads– long-term planning, increased
government investment, ● Land, housing and community
infrastructure– long-term planning; coordination
between companies and government
● Energy– government seeking to establish
Pilbara electricity grid● Water
– cooperation between companies and government
16
Utility infrastructure – moving to integrated electricity system

Differences in Pilbara population projections – Pilbara Industry Community Council (2010) and WA Planning Commission (2011)
WAPC assumes further mining investment and
economic transformation beyond 2015
PICC assumes construction will tail off
from 2015

Industrial estates
• Predicting the future is very difficult● a guiding overall vision is needed, with agility to respond to global forces● uncertainty (in part) can be managed though options
• Early planning and coordination of infrastructure is essential● infrastructure development must be timely to match output growth● infrastructure investment inextricably linked to commodity market risks● managing risks and rewards essential for government and industry infrastructure● coordination is essential to minimise costs and to maximise utility and efficiency● partnerships between government – mining industry – infrastructure providers
needed, but government needs to be careful about getting financially involved in mining busines
• Efficient integrated production chains are vital for global competitiveness of resource development operations
• Resource corridors provide holistic approach and options for future development
